I'm trying to open a report and highlight certain text. So I have a textbox that takes the original field and replaces certain text (based on user input) in bold red. Here is my formula:
Code:
=Replace([Language],[txtKeyword],"<font color = ""red""><b>" & Upper([txtKeyword]) & "</b></font>")
It works fine, but the only problem is, I don't know how to make it case sensitive. So let's say the user input (txtKeyword) is "contract." If it's the beginning of a sentence, I want the C to remain capitalized, but if the C is not capitalized, I don't want it to show capitalized. Is there a way to do this without making the formula really long?
I would like to keep them separated when I do a grouping via a query, but Access does not seem to be open to case-sensitive characters. Who can help me???
SELECT CPL_CLIENTS.CODE, CPL_CLIENTS.FULLNAME FROM CPL_CLIENTS WHERE (((CPL_CLIENTS.FULLNAME) Like "*" & Forms!frmSafeKeep_AddClient_SearchDesig!txtSearchT ext & "*"));
As the control source of a listbox, so that the user can enter something in "txtSearchText", and the listbox will be narrowed to only those those clients that have a matching part of their name.
The problem is that the user enters, for example, "duncan", and the list returns nothing, when in actual fact there are 5 matching records. If the user enters "Duncan" (note the capital letter), they get all 5 records as they should.
If memory serves, access should only be case sensitive if you tell it to be - and this is working fine on other forms.
The only difference between them is the data source. Other forms are getting data from linked tables in the backend. This form is getting it from a linked Oracle table.
I'm new to access vba and I'm trying to create a login form. I have already my code to login but i want to validate the password in 'case sensitive' basis. Below is only what I've got so far.
Code: Private Sub cmdLogin_Click() Dim login_validation As Variant login_validation = DLookup("Password", "tblLogin", "Username='" & Nz(txtUsername.Value, "") & "'") If Nz(login_validation, "") <> Nz([txtPassword].Value, "") Then MsgBox "Incorrect Password. Please try again." txtUsername.Value = "" txtPassword.Value = "" txtUsername.SetFocus Else MsgBox "Hi " & txtUsername.Value & "," & vbNewLine & vbNewLine & "you have successfully login!" DoCmd.OpenForm "frmMain" End If End Sub
I found a useful password protected form using input box and tried it successfully. However there are two issues. The password is not case sensitive and the password entered displays in the box. Is it possible to turn the password to case sensitive and the entered password is displayed as *s.
'Attached to On Click event of cmdOpenEmpForm Dim strPasswd strPasswd = InputBox("Enter Password", "Restricted Form")
'Check to see if there is any entry made to input box, or if 'cancel button is pressed. If no entry made then exit sub.
Is it possible to use find and replace to modify text in report design - or else is there something else I can do to get the same effect? I have a really useful report and I want to modify it for use with a different dataset. To do that I will need to change the text in over 150 text boxes. I have seven different fields which each occur over 20 times in the control source formulas in the text boxes, because they are used in different ways in different calculations. If this was excel I could do a simple find and replace to change e.g. every reference to fieldname OLD to fieldname NEW, but I cannot see how to do that within access report so am haveing to click on each text box in turn, go to properties and edit the text box .
I am trying to switch to a more general naming system in the modified report so then I will be able to assign data with the required fieldnames for the report within a query. But the report I am starting with has field names based on years 2013, 2014, 2015 etc.I want a quick way to change each reference to those field names to my more generic new field names.
I have my main table and one column is a lookup field to another table.
One of the options that was in the dropdown needed to be changed. So I changed the dropdown, but now I need to change all the old entries to reflect this change.
I opened the main table, and thought I could do a find/replace. But it doesn't work. If I do just a 'find' it finds the old text just fine. But if I do the Find/Replace option, it says the 'look for' text was not found. Even tho, I just found it using the find option. If I click on the tab that says find, it will find it again. If I click on the find/replace it can't find it.
any ideas on a way to quickly replace my text in these fileds, without having to go 1 by 1 through each record.
I have two queries called "Query_match_AND" and "Query_match_OR". I want to show the total number of records for either of these queries in a form called "form_candidates_result" depending upon the combo box value (either "AND" or "OR") in a form called "form_match".If I put
Code:
=DCount("*","Query_match_AND")
in the control source of [candidatecount] in "form_candidates_result", the value is shown in the form and it works fine.If I use the following code in either of the "on load" or "on open" events in "form_candidates_result"...
Code:
Select Case [Forms]![form_match]![ANDOR]
Case "AND" Me.CandidateCount.ControlSource = DCount("*", "Query_matching_AND") Case "OR" Me.CandidateCount.ControlSource = DCount("*", "Query_matching_OR") End Select
I sometimes get a last name with two names not connected by a dash (i.e. Smith-Jones), instead it is entered as "Smith Jones". When I get it from Excel into Access is there a way to replace the space with an underscore in Access? I know I can do it in Excel, but I need that Excel file the way it is for other purposes.
I need to loop through text files and replace the new lines following the from, to, copy and subject fields with tabs and place the associated text on the same line as the from, to, copy and subject fields.
I start out with this. See below.
From:
ABC COrp@abc.com To: XYZ Inc.@xyz.com Copy:
Me@abc.com; Myself@abc.com; Irene@xyz.com
Subject:
NOthing much
I need it to be like this.
From:ABC COrp@abc.com
To:XYZ Inc.@xyz.com Copy:Me@abc.com; Myself@abc.com; Irene@xyz.com Subject:NOthing much
I've made a simple form to Login/Logout with radio buttons but the buttons only allow me to push a number as a value, in my case 1 or 2 for Login or Logout.
How would I make an update query to change those numbers to the equivalent text? Or is that not possible in the same field because that is 2 different data types?
Using Access 2010 and ODBC connections to pull data from 3 sources (SQL Server 2008, a customized Documentum application, and Windows AD accounts). Problem is user_login_name is sometimes recorded as lowercase, sometimes as propercase, and sometimes as uppercase depending on which table or source being used. For example, lowercase would be "abcd123", propercase would be "Abcd123", and uppercase would be "ABCD123". I thought I could just wrap each join comparison in the From stmt in the query(s) with the UCase() function, but Access doesn't like that.
How can I convert or cast the various user_login_names within the FROM join statement to be the same text case so joins will pull correct data?
I have a lengthy CASE statement in my database that displays specific text in a field based on the value of another. Simple stuff but for some reason it randomly will not work on certain values, and never the same one twice. Is there a commonly known cause for this? I have verified that the spelling and spacing etc. are correct in my code so that shouldn't be causing the problem.
Code: INSERT INTO TB_SISTEMAS ( LOGIN, SISTEMA, PERFIL, DATA ) SELECT Left([dbo_BACKUP_ACESSOS.LOGIN],255) AS LOGIN, dbo_BACKUP_ACESSOS.SISTEMA, Left([dbo_BACKUP_ACESSOS.PERFIL],255) AS PERFIL, dbo_BACKUP_ACESSOS.DATA FROM dbo_BACKUP_ACESSOS WHERE (((dbo_BACKUP_ACESSOS.SISTEMA)<>"ACTIVE DIRECTORY") AND ((dbo_BACKUP_ACESSOS.DATA)="2014-03-23"));
But Iwant to be able to use a set of data to be used in the Replace Statement, so I create a table to add each string I would like to have replaced by "nothing", and trying to make the replace query to look there in order to find what to replace.I also created a table where I will list the systems that I dont want in the select, so I removed the "ACTIVE DIRECTORY" and replaced by the colum that have the list of system I dont want listed.This is the result:
Code: INSERT INTO TB_SISTEMAS ( LOGIN, SISTEMA, PERFIL, DATA ) SELECT Replace((Left([dbo_BACKUP_ACESSOS.LOGIN],255)),[PREFIXOS_E_SUFIXOS]![Valor],"") AS LOGIN, dbo_BACKUP_ACESSOS.SISTEMA, Left([dbo_BACKUP_ACESSOS.PERFIL],255) AS PERFIL, dbo_BACKUP_ACESSOS.DATA FROM dbo_BACKUP_ACESSOS WHERE (((dbo_BACKUP_ACESSOS.SISTEMA)<>[SISTEMAS_EXCLUIDOS]![Sistema]) AND ((dbo_BACKUP_ACESSOS.DATA)="2014-03-23"));
The thin is that this keeps asking me to enter the parameter value for "PREFIXOS_E_SUFIXOS!Valor" and for "SISTEMAS_EXCLUIDOS!Sistema"
In the Access Table, how does one Find and Replace part of the hyperlink if the Text to display is different?

In other words, I'd like to find FAKESERVER and replace it with C:Users in all 1000 records. Is there any possible way to do this if there is Text to display?
Is there a way in a form to have a combo box that causes other fields to show based on the value of the combo box? For example, if there are 3 selections to choose from in that combo box, selecting option 1 causes 5 fields to show up in the form. 5 other fields show up if option 2 is selected, and a different 5 fields for option 3.
I'm trying to track different details for each combo box selection. Right now I have a field for every detail of every option showing, and the form is pretty cluttered. I'm trying to only show the pertinent data.
If it's a built in Access function, that'd be great. If not, and it requires some coding, please know that while I'm very comfortable with computers and have done some programming, I've never done any coding specifically in Access, so I don't even know where to go to edit the code. So if you could point me there, too, I'd appreciate it.
I know when creating a text field in the format option you can use the > or < sign so that when text is entered it automatically changes it to uppercase or lowercase - but i need it to be Title Case, any one know how I can do this....
I have form that uses a query as its datasource. In this query, there is a column for Body_Height. From this value for Body_Height, there is a calculation made inside the query, e.g. Body_Height / Body_Mass = Body_Calculation Then, there is a textbox on the form, which uses the calculated value Body_Calculation from the query. However when Body_Height is empty, the term "#Error" appears in the textbox. (Actually "#Fehler" - German for error - appears there as I am using the German version of Access.) I know it is an error, as the data for Body_Height is not yet available and has not been entered into the db yet.
My question: Is it possible to replace the term "#Error" with something user-defined, like "N/A" or "Not available" ? It will just help make the form look a bit better in the end I think.
Please help me as I am still a bit unsure how to do this. :confused:
I have a report that has Bill to and Ship to addresses. They are positioned across from one another (ship to on the right and bill to on the left of the page). The issue is that the 'can shrink' doesn't work when there is data in the same field on the other address..
